I've got a sendmail bound to say, foo.com and when I sendmail someone@foo.com from another virtual domain on the same machine, the foo.com sendmail thinks the connection came from foo.com which it didn't. foo.com is not the first ip address on the list, that would be the real name of the host. Haven't looked into this at all yet but it's not what I expected to happen. -- Paul Richards, Bluebird Computer Systems. FreeBSD core team member.
